...Labor union organizer and civil rights leader, Cesar Chavez, in his article, argues that nonviolent resistance is the only way to build the union. Chavez’s purpose is to express that nonviolence is a stronger tactic than violence, and that violence should never be resorted to. He uses rhetorical strategies such as personification, and repetition in order to compel readers to support his cause.

...eradicate them. Esther was persuaded by Mordecai to talk to the king on behalf of the Jewish people. This was hazardous because no one was allowed in the king’s presence without the king summoning them, and she had not been summoned. She fasted for three days, and went to the king. He greeted her, and she spoke to him about Haman’s plot. The people were rescued and Haman and his sons were hanged. On the day the Jewish people were to set to be executed they were given permission to kill the people who would try to kill them. On this day they fought back and won. Purim is more of a national holiday than a religious one and is on smaller level than those proclaimed holy by the Torah. Purim is observed on the 14th day of Adar. This is typically in March. Day 13 of Adar is the time Haman planned to exterminate the Jews and when the fought for their lives. The 14th day is the time they celebrate their survival. Cities...

...THE BELIEF SYSTEMS JOCELYN CALISE HIS103: WORLD CIVILIZATIONS I INSTRUCTOR: THOMAS MONTEIL March 10, 2014 There are many different types of religions that are being practiced from back in the day and in the present time. These systems have affected many different societies where they are being practiced in and everyone that lives in them. These religions are practiced in many different ways. As the years went on many more religions were created and some people use these religions define who they really are. While many religions have emerged and flourished over the centuries, few have had the impact of both Judaism and Christianity. Judaism was founded by Abraham the father of the Hebrews. This religion originally came from the Hebrews. Judaism is believed to be monotheistic. Almost like all the other religions that have a bible in Judaism has a bible that they call the Torah. This bible is a recording of all the laws and important events that have happened during the Jewish history. “Torah seems to be a very this-worldly document, filled with human stories, laws, commandments, and not a word about God alone existing” (Green, Arthur 2010). The Jewish thought very highly of their god. They look at their god as their protector. Jewish people do not feel like they are Jewish without Judaism. “Judaism as religion might not be the entirety of Jewish identity, but it is difficult to imagine a vibrant Jewish identity completely severed from it” (Shapiro, 2014). Judaism has...

...Hashanah, and Shavuot. Each holiday has its own customs, presentations, and services that make it different from the other Jewish holidays. Out of these days, Purim is the greatest day of the year. It is not only a day of happiness and merriment, but it also has within it a tremendous opportunity to come close to Hashem. In celebrating Purim it is in the twelfth month, Adar, at sundown on the thirteenth day (Sasson, 2005). It is a fun holiday, full of parties, drinking, and other celebratory observances. People give baskets of food to friends and the needy persons, and drink wine with the loved ones. Discussion Purim is the holiday that the Jewish nation was saved from Haman's evil decree of annihilation. This is a Rabbinical holiday as it took place thousands of years after the giving of the Torah. What is not exactly known is the strong connection between this glorious holiday and the Torah. The Jews say they have arranged a mass massacre of the Persians in these spring days, Jews celebrate an important Jewish holiday, Purim. It is celebrated for two days: 14th and 15th of the month of Adar on the Jewish calendar, the Gregorian calendar, and a holiday does not have a fixed date. Purim, the Jews claimed as "the most cheerful holiday" and is accompanied by masquerades, plays, and abundant offerings. The history of this celebration is rooted in the 5th century BC. It is dedicated reflected in the Old Testament and the events connected with the deliverance...

...people are also injured by poor drivers and not just speeders is not reason enough to claim that photo radars are a form of poor policing. They are successful in catching speeders, which was their original purpose. It’s unjust to say that because they do not catch all poor drivers, they are lazy and police officers should do it themselves instead. If we were to critically think about Blizzard’s ideal method of policing, she would like to have photo radars rid of completely, and instead have only officers, not technology, monitor traffic. This would require more police officers on the force, or, it would require officers who are already working to be pushed to work far more and potentially over large spans of the city. Originally, a photo adar can be present and can monitor and entire area without a police officer needing to be there to watch over. If it is ridden of, that area would need to be filled by one or two officers were originally they needed none. If photo radars were to be eliminated, many forces would see themselves being understaffed and having wait times to more dire emergencies potentially be longer than they already are. ...

...married in the Netherlands. Mona donated her ova which were fertilized in vitro, but implanted in Ingrid's uterus, and she gave birth. A birth certificate was issued by New York City's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene naming Ingrid alone as the parent. Mona here seeks to adopt the child. Issue- whether either an order of filiation or an acknowledgment of paternity would afford Mona-and, her son a legally recognized parental relationship outside this state's borders? Rule- federal courts that have considered the issue have held that a judicial order of adoption in one state must be afforded full faith and credit in every other state, and that there can be no “public policy” exception to that mandatory recognition ( Finstuen, at 1152; Adar v. Smith, 591 F.Supp.2d 857, 862 [E.D.La.2008] ) Application- For Full Faith and Credit purposes, a judicial order of filiation should produce the same result as an adoption. The Tenth Circuit noted, with regard to adoptions, despite the fact that courts may use different words, such as “decree” or “order”, to refer to their final decisions, it is clear that all decisions are judgments under the common law definition “and, with respect to final judgments entered in a sister state, it is clear there is no public policy' exception to the Full Faith and Credit Clause ( Finstuen, at 1153, n. 12). At present all states have enacted provisions, like New York's FCA § 571(11), containing a full faith and credit provision; but extension of New York's...

....F’;.CV0C=Universality of human rights has always been a extensively challenged and debated topic, especially in the recent decades. In recent decades, a widely contested debate over the universality of human rights has emerged. Rights are certainly not universally-applied today, with oppression, torture and various atrocities committed in many parts of the world. This paper will focus on the notion that both in the Third-World and the West, states have used human rights discussion as a political tool, which has weakened arguments for its universality. This perspective will be utilised to break down arguments made against universal human rights before presenting alternative conceptions of universal human rights and identifying developments which may ensure they can be universally applied and respected. It is important to first define the theoretical basis of ‘universal’ human rights. Universal conceptions argue human rights are inalienable, self-evident and applicable to all human beings (Donnelly, 2003, 10). These arguments are often linked to origins in Western philosophy and natural law, developed from philosophers such as John Locke (Langlois, 2009, 12). Many scholars maintain that human rights are ‘pre-political’, thus unchangeable and unaffected by cultural or political variation. Donnelly identifies the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the basis in establishing the “contemporary consensus on internationally recognised human rights” (2003, 22). Human rights...

...Purim is a joyous Jewish holiday that celebrates the deliverance of the Jews from their enemies in the biblical Book of Esther. Purim is celebrated on the fourteenth day of the Hebrew month of Adar, which usually falls sometime in February or March. Purim is such a popular holiday that the ancient rabbis declared that it alone would continue to be celebrated after the Messiah comes (Midrash Mishlei 9). All other holidays will not be celebrated in the messianic days. The Purim Holiday received its name because Haman was angered by Mordechai when he would not kneel down to Haman. Haman then sets out to destroy the Jewish people. A pur or lottery is then placed in front of Haman to choose which day and month this would occur. When Mordecai discovered Haman’s plan to destroy the Jewish people he persuaded Esther to speak to the king on behalf of the Jewish people. Knowing she would be put to death for being in the king’s presence without being summoned Esther fasted for three day to prepare herself. This was a dangerous thing for Esther to do, because anyone who came into the king's presence without being summoned could be put to death, and she had not been summoned. Esther fasted for three days to prepare herself. The king welcomed Esther and she told him of Haman's plot against her people. The Jewish people were saved, and Haman and his ten sons were hanged on the gallows that had been prepared for Mordecai. Reading the Megillah on Purim Reading the Purim Story from the...

...The Babylonian Captivity (the key points) The Babylonian exile was the period in Jewish history during which the Jews of the ancient Kingdom of Judah were captives in Babylon. According to the Hebrew Bible, there were three deportations of Jews to Babylon. The first, in 597 BCE, involving king Jeconiah and his court and many others, a second in 587 BCE of the next king, Zedekiah, and the rest of the people, and a possible deportation after the assassination of Gedaliah, the Babylonian-appointed governor of Yehud Province, possibly in 582 BCE. The forced exile ended in 538 BCE after the fall of Babylon to the Persian king Cyrus the Great, who gave the Jews permission to return to Yehud province and to rebuild the Temple; but most Jews chose to remain in Babylon.[citation needed] The captivity and subsequent return to the Land of Israel and the rebuilding of the Second Temple in the Jerusalem are considered significant events in Jewish history and culture, which had a far-reaching impact on the development of Judaism. The term "Babylonian captivity" is sometimes used when referring to the Avignon Papacy, a period of Medieval Catholic history, because of perceived parallels between the two.[1] In the late 7th century BCE, the kingdom of Judah was a client state of the powerful Assyrian empire. In the last decades of the century Assyria was overthrown by Babylon, an Assyrian province with a history of former glory in its own right. Egypt, fearing the sudden rise of the Neo-Babylonian...

...Los Angeles: A critical essay looking into increasing inequality and its root causes in the metropolitan area across the last 50 years Los Angeles is one of the most economically developed cities in the world and it represents a beacon of technological advancement, social progression and equal opportunity for people all around the world. Los Angeles (L.A.) was recently ranked 9th on the Global Economic Power Index (Florida, 2012) and 20th on the Global Power City Index that included criteria such as “livability”, “cultural interaction”, “environment” and “accessibility” (Institute for Urban Strategies, 2014). These ideas may ring true for some; however there are many who live within the city limits that experience a very different reality. In the last 20 years there has been an increasing amount of academic literature examining rising economic, social, political and underlying racial inequality within L.A. This essay will attempt to evaluate this literature so as to examine what inequalities are occurring and identify possible causes underlying them. For future reference within this essay, I am going to be looking at L.A. as the Greater Los Angeles Area, which includes the city of L.A. and other interconnected urban areas so as to avoid confusion on where possible boundaries are drawn and also to have a greater area from which to draw comparison from. Socio-Economic History Leading to Contemporary Inequality The situation Los Angeles is currently in can be attributed...

...Judaism Name: Institution: Instructor: Course: Date: Judaism Branches of Judaism According to Morrison, Brown, and O'Brien (2009), there are four distinct branches of Judaism. First, Orthodox Judaism is a traditional branch that embraces strict observance of ritual and moral provisions in the traditional Jewish law. This branch of Judaism has a number of movements. These include Modern orthodoxy that embraces the adoption of Western culture and Charedi Judaism that emphasizes Jewish culture among others (Morrison, et al., 2009). Second, Reform Judaism emphasizes Judaism’s ethical laws and ritual laws to be changed to fit into the modern society (Morrison, et al., 2009). It also emphasizes the observance of social justice and morality as shown in Judaism and retaining of traditional practices that are found meaningful. Therefore, this branch embraces individual choice rather than observance of beliefs and practices. Third, Conservative Judaism supports observance of Jewish tradition while at the same time embracing any adaptations to fit into modern society (Morrison, et al., 2009). In addition, the branch supports the use of Jewish texts to determine ethics and best practices. Lastly, Reconstructionist Judaism does not treat Judaism as just a religion but an evolving civilization that is always accompanied by religious components (Morrison, et al., 2009). The branch emphasizes non-binding compliance to the Jewish Law. But it also points out that it should be followed...

...Information Literacy Assignment: Esther David Laylock Humanities 102 Dr. Meng April 16, 2014 Intro Esther is about the girl who came to be the queen of Persia. It is a book that gives her story of how she became sovereign, starting out during a banquet that lasted one hundred and eighty days. This banquet was put on by the wealthy King Xerxes to show off to people the power and fortune that he held. The queen, at the time, denied to appear at this banquet and was ordered to be put to death, because of how angry the King was at this. The pursuit for a new queen is now on. This is where Esther comes into play. Esther was in a Beauty pageant put on by King Xerxes, and the king chose her to be queen. During this time, Mordecai stops an attempt to murder King Xerxes. Recorded in the kings’ book of chronicles is Mordecai’s endeavor, but does not get compensated though. Haman becomes the kings’ viceroy, and Haman is a very selfish individual, always putting himself first. Mordecai refuses to bow down to Haman when all inhabitants of Shushan have to, and this enrages Haman so he issues a decree to execute all Jews, including Mordecai. After all this, Haman then misleads the king into issuing an edict to sentence all Jews. Mordecai tells Esther about the edict, and convinces her to put her life in jeopardy so that she may protect all her people from this. Esther develops a strategy to get the job done. She prepared a fancy banquet for King Xerxes and Haman. The king tells...

...The Study on Stealth Design Technology Abstract—In this report we study some basic ideas on stealth technology. Loosely speaking, the stealth technology can be divided into two categories: the study on target shape design and the study on radar absorbing materials. In this report, we explain the basic principles of these two categories, and give some simulations by CST Microwave Studio and Feko to show the effects of stealth technology. I. I NTRODUCTION The purpose of stealth design is to protect the target from being detected by the enemy’s radar and to increase the target survivability. Ideally, for an object to be ”stealth”, it needs to have a low optical visibility in addition to being low observable in the infrared spectrum and at all radar frequency bands, also the emission of acoustic noise should be low. However, this goal is difficult to achieve, and the recent research is mainly focus on the low observability in a certain radar bandwidth. In some degree, the term ”stealth design” is equivalent to the technology of reducing target’s the Radar Cross Section (RCS). RCS is the parameter to characterize the strength of backward scattering of the target, the formal definition is σ = lim 4πR2 R−>∞ Fig. 1: B-2 stealth bomber |Es |2 , |Ei |2 (1) Fig. 2: F117 stealth fighter plane where, R is the distance from target to radar, |Es | is the scattered electric field intensity and |Ei | is the incident electric field intensity.
